The gas errupts before the newspaper hits the twigs because the fumes ignite, not the gas. We had a local guy one night try to kill himself on a drug binge. He disconnected the natural gas line at the heater in the cellar of his home. He walked away and came back with a lighter. While he was away from the gas line now spewing gas into the celler the gas content rose dramatically the cellar. Natural gas blows when the concentration is between 5 % and 15 %. He told the gas company people he sat there flicking his BIC numerous times until the house blew up. Company employees estimated that he probably flicked his BIC about fifty times before the concentration was at an appropriate level for blastoff. Guy lived, house had to be demolished.
